Well, I am home from visiting Rob. I couldn't print the blog but I did take screen shots of the whole blog up to comment 110. He was very touched and wrote you all a letter.....
Here it is.......
A heartfelt thank you to my Railbird friends and family
As many of you know, my wife has been keeping the nest updated with my situation. As she has stated, I am currently in the hospital being treated for blood clots in the right and left lung and lower right leg. The outpouring of support and well wishes from the RB community has been overwhelming. My prognosis is much more positive today than it was yesterday, doctors expect a full recovery. I will be on blood thinners for a minimum of 6 mos. and having blood work done every couple days, but I will be back to 100% in time. I want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Katie brought me the blog today and I read all the responses. All of you are incredibly caring and supportive people and I cant put into words how much it means to me to count you all as my friends. Thanks again for your support and I hope to see you all again very soon.
Rob

Well, the other day I wrote a blog about him having pneumonia and now he has 2 blood clots in his lungs and in his right leg. He was admitted to the hospital and will be there for a few days.
I am a worry wart by nature and I am a wreck over all this. Sitting here with our 4 year old son..... who wont stop saying "I miss my daddy". Well i miss him too already.
My husband and best friend rolled into one needs your support or maybe I need it.
He wont be able to see this until he comes home, as there is no wi-fi in our podunk town hospital.

TY ALL FOR THE WELL WISHES AND WE APPRECIATE IT VERY VERY MUCH
